Ric Bucher, ESPN The Mag: FICTION.
Last I checked, the Spurs hadn't been eliminated from this year's playoffs.
Secondly, with Tiago Splitter and Ian Mahinmi ready to compete for spots on next year's roster and San Antonio's established ability to reload, suggesting that the defending champs are done as a contender is dangerous, if not outright foolish.
Can't speak for Phoenix, but Dallas' ownership is too devoted to winning not to take the necessary measures to stay in contention.
